"Rana and Two Coaches Pull Out as Bangladesh's Pakistan Tour Schedule Changes"

Bangladeshi fast bowler Nahid Rana has withdrawn from the upcoming tour of Pakistan, according to a statement from a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official on Wednesday. Trainer Nathan Kelly and fielding coach James Pamment have also opted out of the tour, which now consists of a three-match T20 International series.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the same day released a revised schedule for the series, which was initially planned as five matches but has been reduced to three. All matches will be played under lights at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium between 28 May and 1 June.

The series will kick off on Wednesday, 28 May, followed by the second match on Friday, 30 May, and the final game on Sunday, 1 June. Each match is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM local time.

The Bangladesh team is slated to arrive in Lahore on 25 May and will hold training sessions on 26 and 27 May in preparation for the series.
